“The mistakenly killed engineers let out gasps and you see the shadow before you se its source. The thing is large and ambles on four legs like a hound. It leaps along the roofs of the cars, but all you see is a mass of hair, teeth and eyes. It is what you hear that terrifies. Voices caked in fear, imprisoned in flesh, like souls beyond help. A cacophony of mewling, like duelling synthesisers played badly. As if synthesisers could be played any other way.”
